There are a plethora of ways stereo subs beat mono, on almost any speaker. Even full rangers that 'do' 20 hz can benefit from the adjustability of a seperate subwoofer cabinet. What if the best imaging comes from speaker placement that excites too many/not enough bass modes? Time to compromise.
True. Of course most real people's rooms have serious problems with bass, standing waves, etc. Having two may help, but real solutions usually require things with terrible WAF such as Ethan Winer's Real Traps.
My advice is for ezkcdude to read up on the subject, especially since he's building them himself. It may be easier to build them more cheaply the second time if he doesn't have to buy precut wood etc, plans, etc.
Making them youself really does open up the possibilities. A few years ago there was an audiophile article on a guy who put the subwoofer in the basement, and had eight or so 15+ inch drivers, The sound came up thru a furnace grate. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
